Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Mixed fruit juice (apple, grape, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons Unflavored gelatin powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Fresh berries (optional)
- 1 as needed Baking spray
Instructions
Begin by lightly greasing a jelly mold or a loaf pan with baking spray to ensure the jelly doesn't stick.
In a medium-sized bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cup of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to allow it to bloom and absorb the water.
In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed fruit juice and granulated sugar over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 3-5 minutes.
Once the sugar is dissolved, add the bloomed gelatin mixture into the saucepan with the fruit juice. Stir continuously until the gelatin is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice. Mix well to combine.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before gently pouring it into the prepared mold or loaf pan. If desired, add fresh berries by scattering them throughout the mixture.
Transfer the filled mold to the refrigerator and allow it to set for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
To serve, gently run a thin knife around the edge of the mold to loosen the jelly. Invert it onto a serving plate; if necessary, dip the mold's bottom briefly in warm water to help release the jelly.
Slice the jelly as desired and serve chilled. Enjoy your homemade mixed fruit jelly!
